Dietary Guidelines for Good Health

First, consume more whole grains & vegetables, with special emphasis on the  cruciferous variety. Along with that, the intake of red meats, sugar and saturated fats needs to be reduced. We also need to eat more foods in their whole and natural state. For the most part, whole foods from the plant kingdom offer us significant dietary fiber.

• Reducing our intake of refined and processed sugars.
• Reducing our consumption of animal and plant foods high in fats, especially saturated fats.
• Switching to monounsaturated oils like olive oil and using flaxseed oil or taking an essential fatty acid supplement.
• Reducing our intake of high-cholesterol foods such as eggs, fatty meats, and staying away from hydrogenated fats altogether (corn oil, margarines, etc.).
• Reducing our intake of salt and salty foods.
• Increasing our consumption of whole grain cereals and breads and fruits and vegetables (especially cruciferous varieties).
• Exercise in moderation 3 times weekly.
